Arabic data migration problem

I'm using SQL developer to migrate from SQL server 2005 database (whose encoding is Arabic) to and Oracle database (whose encoding is UTF16). The arabic data are migrated successfully but appear as ?????? marks. Is there a way to migrate the data successfully?
thx all

We are using 3 data base for the appllication developed in java.
One of our common table containing all the country location ( post code / zip ) details. Problem is that this details are insert to the data base using SQL*PUS or Sql command line available while installing oracle 10g / 10g express data base.
But when we run sql script with special characters like МП Летище Бургас ( Bulgarien )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','BG001002','МП Летище Бургас','','','ext');
or Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ ( Griechenland - greece )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','GR002002',N'Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ','','','ext');
it returns as ?????? marks . i set NLS_LANG to AL32UTF8 using command set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
then also it displaying as ???????
I need to insert these details properly in Linux and windows Os using sql command line .
Any sujections are appreciated . Its very urgent .

Report 6i Arabic Date alignment problem in Windows 7

Hi
We have 6i Forms and Report and wanna run in windows 7. But we found arabic Date disaplay problem in reports. As you know arabic writting from right. But date display like 21/10/1431 and I wanna like 1431/10//21.
I tried from regional setting and change date format from report. but this is problem from system it self,
not accept right alignment. Even I install left to right patch (KB979643-x86).
Please Help
Thanks

Like others have said you need to run the bootcamp installer to install the drivers.
The time issue was a constant annoyance rebooting with OSX and my old XP bootcamp setup but it's gone with Windows 7 once you set your time to UTC format in the date and time properties instead of local time which OSX uses and XP couldn't support.

Arabic Data Migration

Trying to migrate Arabic data from sql server 2000 to Oracle 9i. Getting question marks for Arabic data in the target oracle database. Are there any settings in workbench related to language specific issues.

HT4889 Data migration problems

I have gotten half way through data migration from my MacBook to my new MacBook Pro. It has taken an overwhelming length of time to get this far but the process has not progressed for 24 hours. How do I get out of this process without damaging my computers or the data?

Hello Mongoi and welcome to  Discussions.
The new Intel's cannot connect with some of the older iMacs via Firewire. I had the same problem, so instead I connected the two via File Sharing (Connect to Server using the Intel to connect to my old G4) and moved things across manually.

Strange legacy data migration problem to SAP CProjects

Dear all,
I am new to CProjects and currently working on migrating legacy data to CProjects through XML. I am facing some strange problems when migrating project data with multiple phases. If the project already exists in Cprojects, the XML import transaction hangs indefinitely and a timeout exception is thrown. While on the other hand, if I upload a new project (with same set of phases), it is readily imported without any problems.
Kindly help!
Thank you all!

Hi Vivek,
If the project already exists, the system creates a simulation from the imported data. You then need to move the simulation to your operational project by performing a reconcilliation. You can't simply overwrite an operational project via an import.
I have included some links below from SAP help which may help (cProjects 3.1).

Data migration problems using Firewire

Hi everybody, this is my first post.
I have just bought an Intel-based iMac 20" 2.4 GHz running Leopard.
I tried to transfer data from an old (year 2000) iMac DV 450 MHz running OS 9.0.4, connecting the two machines by Firewire ports and using the Migration Assistant.
Everything was OK, in the sense that the Firewire icon with HD of the old Mac was correctly displayed, but was completely empty (no file/folder in it).
At the same time the Migration Assistant seemed to be blocked on "waiting for disks appearing", with no possibility to continue.
Any advice on how to solve this problem ? Have I to allow more time for the files to appear, or something wrong happened ?
Thanks a lot for you help.

Data migration problems...

Hi,
I am trying to migrate the database from SQL Server environment to Oracle 10g database.
I am using SQL developer for the same.
On converting the captured model to oracle model , i am getting lots of migration errors and that is mostly in the stored procedures .
The general error is something like this :
Stored Procedure 'usp_CONTMGTDWRCreateDWR' has language id of 'MSTSQL' so will not output for generation .
And when i copy the MS-SQl code in the scratch editor and press the translate button , i am predominantly getting these two errors :
1) cannot translate null
2)cannot translate > Unknown object : unxepected end of tree : Line 0 Column 0
Can anyone tell me what do these errors mean and how can i go about correcting them??
Thanks in advance.
Shishir.

Will Reinstallation and Data migration solve the Character Set Problem????

Hi to all,
We are having a problem with Arabic Data in the Oracle 9i Database, when we are adding any data using SQL * Plus and a asp.net web based application, the data is converting to ????? (Question Marks), when the database was installed on the Server with Windows 2003 OS, it was not having Arabic Support, after installation of oracle 9i it was realised, later we installed the language packs for Arabic on the Server.
So this was the reason the arabic support is not there in the database, we changed the NLS_LANG parameter of the Server's Registry entry, but this did'nt make any effect on the database, the only change we observed was that now we were able to type arabic data in the SQL * Plus on the Server machine. But after saving the record when we retrieve the data is coming as ?????? , so we tried to insert the data using a client which is having the Arabic Support and we inserted a row using the SQL * Plus with arabic data in the insert statement, after inserting when we retrieve the data. The data was visible without any problem.
So What is the problem is the database storing the arabic data correctly or not ???, we think there is problem with the Server's Oracle Configuartion, is there any other way we can get the server working with arabic data or a Reinstall of the Oracle Data will solve the Problem.
Or we can do something on the server machine so that we dont need the Resinstallation.
If we have to Reinstall the Server what are the best practices and steps we should follow so that we have a seamless migration between the old and the new oracle database.
Thanks and Regards

With NLS_LANG on the client and NLS_CHARACTERSET in the database equal AR8MSWIN1256, you should be able to support Arabic data without problems. If you have problems, it usually means a configuration issue on the client, for example, NLS_LANG not set for the right Oracle Home, or lack of Arabic support in a particular tool.
You need to add Arabic message files to the database Oracle Home (i.e. Arabic should be selected in the Product Languages dialog box in the Installer) only if you care about the language of error messages returned from the database to clients. If you do not display these ORA-xxxx error messages to end users, it should be OK to leave them in English. Also, if you want Arabic error messages, month names, and weekday names, you should change AMERICAN to ARABIC in NLS_LANG.

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

Hi there..

It could be a no. of problems. You are not getting the right data out of the request.
you donot have the fonts on your machine.
the jsp as somebody has mentioned is not using utf-8 encoding.
But to be sure try printing out the hex values of the String name and see if you are gettig the right hex values of are you getting 3f?
If you are getting 3f then it means that you are not able to retrieve the data correctly from the request.
You could also try doing a snoop in that case to see if the data was sent correctly.

Data migration scripts problems

Hello,
I've been using SQL Developer for a couple of months now ; I'm working on the migration from a SQL Server database to Oracle 10g, and the migration features of the product really saved me a lot of time so far.
However, there is a couple of small problems with the generated data migration scripts :
- on the SQL Server side, the script that calls for bcp specifies no encoding ; as a result every Unicode information is lost. I think that by default you should at least call bcp with the option of keeping the original encoding information.
- on the Oracle Side, empty strings ( = CHR(00) ) are converted into a whitespace character ( = ' '), when they shouldn't. This is all the more annoying to correct manually when you have a lot of tables, since there's one control file per table.
Apart from that, everything's fine :)
Regards,
Isabelle.

Truncating arabic data/text when deployed on 10gAS, where as Eng is Ok

DETAILS:
When I run a report using report builder everything is fine. But when I deploy that same report on Application server & when I run from browser, the arabic data in the report is getting truncated ! where as English text/data is ok.
To solved this problem I have to expand each text / item in report builder. But why with arabic only? And how the report is working fine when run using Report Builder? For some reports even after expanding still gets truncated while deployed on Application server.
I think the FIX is around PDF. when report is deployed on AS, then output is generated in PDF & then above problem is encountered. Where as executed in Report Builder, output is generated in previewer which is fine.
please help

I have experiecnce with this problem... and unfortunatly ther's not solution.
Some trigger (like when-mouse-enter or when-mouse-live) don't work with form deployed on web. I suppose that these triggers are not supported in deployd on web because the "client" browser shuld be constantly comunicate with the runtime engine.

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

Questions on data migration....

Hi all,
I'm currently facing the problem that my colleagues from the data migration team are about to migrate legacy data to the new system using BDC/LSMW.
1.) Is it true that the system bypasses any checks concerning number ranges (even if the range doesn't exist at all)? Example: They're about to migrate master inspection characteristics. Let's assume that the old MIC had the number 1234 and the new MIC is supposed to have the number 0001_1234. Do I need to create and assign the external number range?
2.) If I don't need the number range described under 1.) and I do the migration accordingly (again NO number range created and/or assigned). What would happen if I access this MIC in the future and try to use it in an inspection plan. Would the system reject the usage because there's no number range or would it work normally?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Please let me know as well, if I need to post it in a different forum.
Regards,
Bobby

Hi Boban,
Defining of number ranges before you transfer the masters is must. For numeric titles use SAP std number range for Alphabetic one use external range.

Data Migration from Legacy System in CRM

Hi All,
We are going to Implement a new CRM project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of CRM and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments
9. Premises
10. Rate Changes
11. Security Deposits
12. Business Partner Relationships
13. Web self-service information
14. Usage that has been used for quotes
15. Tax history information, including AXCIS
17. Service Requests
18. Service Order History
19. Security Deposits
20. Reference Values
21. Rate Changes
Can anybody please tell any transaction code in CRM where can I find the Data migration for the above objects is possible or not.
Thanks in Advance,
Sai.

Hello,
for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.
